Bounce effect in Blend - Using easing to apply acceleration or inertia to an animation in Silverlight
   Added on  March 21, 2009  in category  Design  by  Silverlight Girl  

I made a cool discovery today: Gavin Wignall's blog called Silverlight Buzz. He has many thorough posts about things Silverlight but my favorite right now has to be the one where he explains how to use Easing to apply acceleration or inertia to an animation in Silverlight. The use of easing in animation can be confusing but Gavin illustrates his example in a fool proof way that makes it all crystal clear.

Designer / Developer Workflow
   Added on  February 19, 2009  in category  Design  by  Silverlight Girl  

This is part 2 of the 3 part series "Designer / Developer Workflow", called "A Step-by-Step Introduction to Styling, Templating, and Animating in Expression Blend". I found it relevant to the Silverlight gamers community because it focuses on starting a project from scratch and clearly divides the tasks and sequence to be worked on by both the designer and the developer. I feel it is suited best for people who are discovering Silverlight.

Interesting.
